Fire and Sand - Merging Troops

Merging troops is a feature available in the 2017 special, Fire and Sand. It allows you to combine troops from different villages into one large army, but it comes with a cost in resources or Gold. Troops that are merged are subsequently treated exactly as if they were trained in their new home village; this includes the upgrades in the Smithy.

How to merge troops

You need to do the following:

Send troops that you want to merge to the village that should be their new home village.

Afterwards, open the Rally Point in the target village.

In the overview tab, find the troops you sent.

Click the link "merge with this village", as shown in the screenshot below.

On the next screen, select the amount of troops you want to merge. This will affect the cost of merging.

Finish by spending resources (you can use NPC trades if necessary) or with Gold.

Restrictions of merging troops

It is only possible to merge troops that belong to the same player.

It is not possible to merge settlers, administrators, siege weapons or a hero (the hero can simply be moved to another village).

There is no restriction with regard to Academy research. You can merge a unit into a village even if it wasn’t first researched in that village.

Costs of merging troops

The merging costs depend on the army that is being merged. The costs are equal to twice the cost of recruiting that army. You can use Gold instead; the cost is calculated by dividing the resource costs by 40,000 and rounding the result up.
